Haha this is funny, Why would you think that?

Muslim women are diffrent depending on where they are coming from. If they are american they are going to be like american women, muslim or not. Yes they might be more open and respectfull but they are still women and still bullshit.

Not me. I have live in a muslim community and the wives there are exactly the same as those in this country. They simply speak a different language. Husbands are husbands and wives are wives, no matter where they are from. The only significant thing I can think of in re to this is that people who are from war torn countries or nations where life has been hell for generations, people from those areas of the planet seem to be much easier to get along with generally and are a WHOLE lot mor appreciative of the simple things in life rather than being the type that has a "gimmie" attitude. There is a law/rule in nature: The smaller the mammal, the blood thirstier it is". Compare the shrew and the elephant. With that law in mind, use it in your choice of women. think back over the people you have known. Isn't it true, the smaller people were the most vicious ones?

I don't understand whether you're asking questions to have an opportunity to vent your knowledge and frustrations against answerers or rather in the attempt to find someone who shares your views.

Leaving the introduction aside, i am sorry to inform you that no one here will ever be able to tell you if MUSLIM WOMEN make the best wives, not even you!

As a matter of fact you are trying to treat everyone like idiots only building on your wife and providing us all with a limited crosscut of the whole huge and multifaceted islamic world i.e. Indonesia, with a woman who is only one of the fragmented interpretations of Islam (as you should know better than me, given that i am catholic)
The condition of muslim women around the world is a varied one, and an occasion of great debates of which you don't seem to be aware.
If it's true that in many muslim countries women enjoy a huge freedom (Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, even Algeria and the whole Maghreb area if we want), there are many other places where women are forced to be like submissive slaves like Afghanistan, Pakistan etc
There are also many countries in transition.....
Your wife and you enjoy a good free relationship....several of my female friends in Indonesia left the country after a divorce because they feared the revenge of their families, which to me clashes a little bit with the information you provided to me (Let's say that YOUR WIFE DOES WHAT SHE WANTS WHEN YOU'RE NOT AROUND....WE ARE WONDERING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ALL THE OTHERS, SHOULD THEY DECIDE TO DO THE SAME).
Some of those women asked for divorce because they declaratedly wanted to be free and without men and have the freedom to date whoever they wanted...as a matter of fact two of them now live in the US. Again, that clashes with your idea of MUSLIM WOMAN = BEST WIVES (They were far from being good wives and they admitted their families forcing them to marry someone when they simply wanted to have fun....call that BEST WIVES!)
I live in Italy and we have a huge intake of muslim immigration, which means we are gathering muslims from all countries and of all types...
We have the nice Pakistani whom kill their daughters when they don't want to marry their cousins in Pakistan,
We have the smart, cultivated Egyptians
We have the emancipated moroccan and tunisian women, whom although being Muslims pretty often enjoy threesomes with their hubbies (Again...they put ads on special couple swapping websites and magazines in Italy with pictures and all...so nothing being my exclusive news here)

Again, i am sorry but what i see clashes with what you say.
The only truth about muslim women is that very often they show to have much more brain and common sense than muslim men and accordingly we all wish that a balanced emancipation will allow muslim women to gain more power in those countries where they get killed with stones, slaughtered, shot dead only if they get pregnant without a husband, or even raped.

On top of that i am glad you found the right wife and i am happy for you.....
Your reasoning is not totally wrong, in the sense that the amount of muslim women who know how to run a family and are steady, reliable and loyal is by far higher than that of most western countries but sometimes the price to pay for those things is way too high.

Instead of treating people like idiots just because they don't share your views on muslim women why don't you try to think that, perhaps, you're not expressing an opinion on ALL MUSLIM WOMEN, but rather on YOUR MUSLIM WOMAN.
That would be much fairer....but at that point, why ask us all if your woman is the best muslim woman?

I do wish you a nice day!

I think men want them to use a a slave not a wife and it's sad because we as woman have just as much rights as you men i was with a guy that practiced the muslim religon and he treated me like I was nothing so I don't think that they make good wifes because they don't get treated that way you can only talk when spoken to and answer when spoken to and have to cover up your body but your face so other men don't stare that is wrong and muslim men or men in genral like that need a life and learn how to treat us with RESPECT not like a piece of meat

i come from a muslim background and i would say yes we do, coz islam teaches how to look after ur man; compassion, respect and love, kindness, mind you these are expected as well in treating the wives in the same way. Alot of muslims come from 3rd world countries, yes some of these countries are fundamentalists and they take islam to quite an extreme level. although it is required for a women to cover her body and dress modestly for her own protection, it is not required for her to cover her face nor can this be forced upon her, as it has to come from her. yes muslim women are allowed to speak in public and they are not slaves to their husband. these negative ideologies are not islam, it's the culture and narrow minded people that oppress women unfortunately. in islam men and women are equal and both have to treat each other with respect. Islam is a loving religion, i wish the followers of Islam would follow it properly! Peace and God bless!

I grew up Muslim and don't practice anymore.
More than the religion, it's the culture that make any woman a good wife: a sense of community, taking care of your family, taking care of you husband, having close relationship with yours and his family, showing love to your husband and kids, focusing on having a good physical relationship with your husband, doing the right thing, teaching your kids positive values and good morals... ect. Sounds familiar? Well these are values all religions share, not just Islam.

not sure
it depends on what do u mean what a good wife is
i guess every woman can be a good wife if they find the one that they truly love, so they will do their best to make their other halves happy and satisfied

nah, muslim women are slaves to their husband, it's not that they're bad wives, just the way their culture set to be. I think good wives are who actually are willing to do stuff for their husband without being forced, and love him for who he is, and not forced into loving him.
